The Consciousness Of Who You Are
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the will of him that sent me
(John 6:38).
The Lord Jesus was absolute and definite about
His origin and the purpose for His coming. He
said, “...I came down from heaven, not to do mine
own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38).
In John 6:35, He said, “…I am the bread of life: he
that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that
believeth on me shall never thirst.” He was conscious
of His identity, origin, and mission. He knew He was
sent and knew the one who sent Him, and boldly
confessed accordingly.
The challenge with a number of Christians is that
they don’t know who they are, and you can tell this
from the way they talk. Imagine a Christian who says,
“I’m hypertensive,” or “I’m diabetic,” actually claiming
these things as though it’s respectable or fashionable
to do so. Yet the Bible says, “No one in Zion will
say, “I’m sick” (Isaiah 33:24 MSG). It’s about their
mentality; such folks haven’t developed the Christconsciousness.
When you were born again, you were born into
health; the life of God supplanted your human life that
was susceptible to sickness and disease. You’re not an
ordinary person and must never talk like an ordinary
man. Your life is from the Spirit, sustained by the Word,
not by the blood that flows through your veins. You’re
not “sickable.” The Christian is “uninfectable”; that’s
what Jesus said. He said, “…and if they drink any
deadly thing, it shall not hurt them” (Mark 16:18).
But, until and unless this becomes your
consciousness, you may never walk in the reality of it.
Get to know, and become conscious of, who you are
in Christ. God’s Word gives you the right information
about who you are as a Christian. Therefore, always
study and meditate on the Word; it’ll give you the right
mindset: the mindset of victory.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your Word to my
spirit today. The entrance of your Word into my spirit gives me
light, and I live in, and by that light! With that light, I see and
apprehend my glorious life in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
